The Chicken Run slot machine is a 5-reel online casino game developed by Barcrest Games. Released in 2017, it has gained popularity among players for its unique theme based on the popular Aardman Animations film of the same name.

Theme

As expected from the title, Chicken Run slot revolves around the main characters and events of the animated movie. Players can immerse themselves in an immersive environment Chicken Run filled with farm animals and action-packed sequences inspired by the cult classic. The slot’s design is reminiscent of a traditional British countryside setting.

Design

The game features vibrant cartoon-style graphics, displaying each character as they appear on reels. Symbols include Farmer Jenkins, Mrs. Tweedy, Ginger, Rocky, Fowler, and Zoot among others from the film series. The backdrop includes lush green fields with fluffy white clouds adding an ambient effect.

Chicken Run features 5 reels with various payline combinations available across these reel sets – a total of nine possible lines to bet on per spin, all winning combinations paid in order from left to right (L-R) only except the special cases described below. There are no fixed jackpots within standard spins; instead, maximum potential payouts occur during bonus features or Free Spins.

Symbols

There are both high- and low-value symbols available on Chicken Run’s reels:

• Low-value symbols:

The unique game payout for landing all Wilds (Mrs Tweedys) together is much larger.
